- There is still gold in this underground mine! We have found a spot at our gold mine where the old miners left rich ore and we are going to get it out and crush it down to recover the lost gold they left behind. We needed to do some underground improvements such as timbering and putting in a rail system to aid in getting the ore out from underground and down to the truck and then to the mill. Once we recovered the ore we get the 1 ton per hour gold milling system up and running by doing some hammer mill maintenance and changing the hammers. Once the system is ready the ore is processed and the gold is recovered and smelted down and refined to pure precious metals!

Nothing gives you more appreciation for efficiency, than having to move TONS of dirt and rock.
oh man ....that looks like fun.... good job on the returns ...keep'em coming sonny Jim.
Of course my other favorite channel watches this channel👍👍👍🇺🇸
Someone call Slim and we'll have a full party.
Come on!!! Let's go!!!
@@KowboyUSA I'm here
Gotta see a collab between you two.
Jason is a great narrator. MBMMLLC makes amazing gold processing equipment. Kudos 👍
Great work, I like how you showed everything from start to finish
My back and body aches just watching this. You should be proud of your strength and determination
Miners would definitely have to be physically fit to endure this kind of work
As I watch you push your cart along the rails I couldn't help but think "I want to hear him sing 'hi-ho hi-ho it's off to work we go.'" Great video.
Truly enjoyed being brought along to get the complete processing tour.Great job on the narration made it easy listening and informative.Keep it golden David out.
I really enjoy the learning process. Thanks for taking us along
Please make more of these. It’s really hard to find videos of small scale hard rock mining underground. Really interesting to see what the old timers would have done compared to modern mining
Mostly the mining part not the crushing ect.
Thanks again for sharing life with enthusiasm and passion for the mines
Hi Jason!
I know that you have been working so hard on and dying to show us all the beginning to the end of gold mining. From extracting to ore, moving it to your truck and then bringing it back and processing it from the very beginning on your system to the end, I love this video you did a great job and I am just as impressed now as I have been since I discovered you on TH-cam
Jason thank you very much! Sincerely Dave Johnson
Loved the details you put in this video, you did an awesome job! Loved every part of it, you guys rock, and keep up the good work ;). Lifetime subscriber here!
Thank You for the full run thru,
A string of Led's & some fine tuning & You'll be all dialed in !!!
Be Safe & HH
You the man . I've been watching and waiting. So sweet you getting help . This is going be good. Nice watching all your smelting stuff. Lots of information. Love it. Keep it up.
This is an excellent , all inclusive video really nicely done! I link your content to others.. Thanks again!
Thanks a bunch for the walk through the mine and a well thought out mill my friend. As a steel machinist/fabricator I can appreciate a good machine. Very smooth flow and control.
I would like to say that I am learning so much from your channel.
Keep up the good work.
Great video start to finish, good to see that famous old mine is still producing!
Thanks for giving me gold fever again!!!
What a consistently good channel. Thanks for the effort mate.
Thank you for this travel from prospection to raffined metal ,first time i see all process .
I've been watching your videos for over four hours. Awesome.
Great info, thanks for the tour and maintenance
i love you showing the whole process.
Brilliant tramp n trolley system, loved how you showed the hammers n the mill n jaw crusher setup! Thank you
Nice Project Jason! Hope you and your crew get a lot gold out of there! Regards from Germany
I just stumbled on your video today. This will be the fourth one I’ve washed in a row. I did a little gold panning in Idaho back in the 60s with my dad. Later on in life I tried it with my kids but I never found any gold to speak of. Of course I was told by somebody there was a little bit of gold dust in the bottom of my thimble size bottle. Probably wasn’t even true. Anyway very interesting keep up the videos I’ve really enjoyed them. Maybe I’ll give it a try again one day.
You really know your shit man. I'm truly impressed. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work my friend!
Hello from Scotland 🏴 👋
all the very best from Australia, I am sure we can use some of your gear, love your narration and so well explained.
I saw both vids on either side of this one, How did I miss this when it came out?? This is some good content.
Love the set up. 😊
So cool! Thx for sharing!!
Yeah... 1 of my favorite channels 👍👍💰🇺🇸. Good job
Very simplistic rail system
Wow that's a lot of work I like the facet you came up with not using no wheels on your cart
You make it look so easy!
Your videos are fascinating 👏.
loved this video great viewing and content
Man you are a credit to the old timers, and an inspiration to all us wage slaves dreaming of a better life.
Can’t wait to see this work. James in Australia 🇦🇺
You have what I call "Heart".
That's what made me healthy wealthy and wise.
Thanks for sharing your ❤
Badass brother working hard good work keep it up 💪
I really hope the bullion dealers pay you well. The amount of work that you put into this process is really appreciable and needs to be highly rewarded
If it was four 9’s pure then that was about $1,000. But it’s not so probably around $800. He only showed a glimpse of the backside of that button and it looked nasty. 3 men and that equipment, he needs more than that. If he could process 3 tons per day he would be making bank.
I like the rail and trolley system very cool
Cool video! Good job dude.
awesome video never seen anything like this before
I seen where an old mine had used wood rails they took metal slats an aid them over the edges so the cart don’t wear the wood down 👍 cheap and efficient
It good to see some Washington state gold still coming out of the mines. I’m on the Eastside and prospect the Metalline & Northport areas- mostly all placer though
Hi Jason !!! great job friend
That's amazing!!
This is awesome!
I had the same problem with my jaw crusher, wear. I used grader blades eventually. I switched to a pulverizer after. The jaw crusher went to 1/4 in then pulverizer. Good luck
I always enjoy watching the full process, it would be nice to know what size machines you are using as you are using them . Like is the rock crusher a 10-ton per hour Rock crusher? Thanks again, as usual it's very entertaining, and as everybody else feels, hoping to need some of your equipment one day soon.
Fascinated by this
That's a lot of work for so little. Labor of love
awesome video. nice lighting would be great. love to see what it actually looks like in there:)
Enjoyed watching your video very nice operation for finding and recovering and extracting process of your gold great job.🙂 Was curious though why you didn't go with overhead rail system like old barns have for moveing hay bails?
Wow this is too cool
You’ve got it , great explanation! Good job sir!...I mean sonny Jim...
New subscriber.
Very nice set up.
I was impressed with the efficiency of the jaw crusher. I have operated jaw crushers for years and have found they produce best when the jaws are full of material (but not overflowing of course).I am curious to know if your jaw crushers implement a safety so that if a chunk of steel is accidentally dropped into the jaws the damage is minimized?
Sweet video m8s, Cheers, HnC
Looks like an interesting place to work on this mines returns. Let’s find lots of gold
You should use the energy of the bucket going down to the truck to pull the other buckets up out of the mine.
Thank you
will you run the second and thirds through the shaker table again? i wonder what roasting them and then running them through would do?
These are super informative and well narrated. You guys have a lot of clever solutions at play, and it's cool to see how you work both hard, and also smart.
Regarding the magnet, what if you placed it near the number 1 and number 2 outputs to catch iron fillings in that last stage before you cook the slurries down?
I think its worth trying
I guess your still at it. Didn't notice newer updates😭. It helps to have all the free help I bet. Good luck guys.
Have you assayed the tails to see what is being left still captured in the rock?
Very relaxing to watch. What are you doing with the “waste” in the supper sac? Great job.
I think it's just containment to haul it away. Throw it on the road or something like that.
Right on you guys....
That same Teflon technology comes in wheel bearing form, so you don't have to slide your stuff on kiln-dried pine, hoping to prevent the effects of degradation over the off season. Also, for your bucket-decending system, use a large-diameter axle, fixed so it won't rotate, and wrap your control rope around it a few times. This will give you low-stress control over it, and you won't have to worry about it obliterating the cab of your truck. The wraps around the axle will multiply whatever friction you put on your end. This system also works in reverse, if the axle is spun. You just pull on the rope, this causes it to grip the axle (capstan, I think it's called), and the axle provides the bulk of the pull, but under your easy control.
That works very well
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere???
Best channel ever.
Man that’s a sweet button, wish I lived in your area, I’d offer you my refining services, see how much gold , silver and platinum group metals are in that...
Thx awesome info!!!!
I was wondering about those rails, is there any gold in that mud covering the floor? I love the aerial tram! Taking a clue from the past. Might want to put a little WD 40 to spray on that teflon rub plate every time you haul some buckets up. Looks like you could use 300' of teflon on the wooden rails as well. Freeman balers had big rollers on the plunger base that were greaseable, they were low profile, maybe they would work on the bottom of your ore cart hauling the buckets up. Nice Job! I love what you are doing! Its great to see the gold coming off the shaker table!
VERY MUCH enjoyed this video. Hole in the ground to 3/4 ton of ore to 1/2 oz gold button in 40 min. Lovely!
"Ask Jeff Williams" has some nice rail in his mine, and he has a vid showing how he did it and how it works.
I've heard of hard facing worn crusher jaws, can you hard face the worn hammers?
David, This channel is like a text book for small gold miners, great work as usual. Did you add ANY lead to the Cons before smelting . And did you way the button before Cupeling. Also have you considered a vibrating fines screen after the Jaw crusher to divert the minus final mesh size portion ifrom the jaw crusher discharge before feeding into the hammer mill to save wear on the hammers and speed up processing. You could perhaps run the minus portion over a pulse jig before the pulp enters the shaker feed.
Sorry Jason, Not David. You just look like a David I know
If you can run your pulley horizontal one side can function as a in while the other side an out. Slow motor outside. Might have to run a line in for a remote stop start. Plus you can wax your 2x4s to reduce friction
Hi Jason,im from London England ,ive been enjoying many of your videos ..im just watching you replace the hammers and of course this is an expensive and quite time consuming job..I am thinking that perhaps you could deisn a way of either an external screw that would cause the internal plates to move closer to the hammer head blades ,perhaps a bit like a book press system.Or alternatively when they wear a slotting system where you could fit a secondary internal plate when required ..I know you manufacture these machines and im sure your customers would love these cost savings and make them more saleable due to cheaper running costs ...best wishes Murray
nice mine
A dust mask please, mostly when shoveling. You don't want to problems later in life, like I have.
Great videos, Jason. Seeing the hard work progress is fascinating. I studied hard rock geology at SD Mines, but life took a different course.
For us mineral collectors, would you consider making samples of free gold on matrix available for sale?? Keep up the great work.
Hey, you want to team up on a small claim in North Carolina and mine some aquamarine and emeralds? Gold is great and all, but it's WAY WAY easier to extract beryl crystals from pegmatite! 😁😁
Could you run alternating rows of used and new hammers? See if that makes a wear difference.
need to do a tilting part to allow both buckets to stay level as you pull it up. also look into doing a small battery operated winch. itill save your back.
did you get any "BB" out of the 2/3 gallons that didn't get crushed and were left in the hammer mill?
I have a question, What would happen if you ran the 1 and 2 concentrates thru a blue bowl type of system??? I would love to see the results...
Hey Jason. The barrier to entry even in a small operation like this is just too great for most artisanal or small miners. Everybody seems to have lots of ore but the cost to process it is time consuming and money consuming. The people and groups that buy your equipment should be some sort of consortium, like the old day. Somebody owns the equipment and you bring in your ore and put it through the process for a fee. probably make more money than mining the gold itself. A flat per ton fee.......
Greetings, after you calculate your running cost to extract the gold, how many grams do you have 'clean'? Thanks
Did any work get done to the road from the hiking trail to the lakes? The snow will be hear any day ,and its a long way down if ya slip off the edge.
You guys are doing a good job on your new ones have you thought about hot facing welding rod on it I worked at the bake mine and that’s what we used to do to make things last a lot longer but this is totally up to you I’m just making a suggestion
It's been years but I always enjoyed running a slusher. Guess you'll just hand muck it though.
is there any space too fit some kind of brush along with the hammers?? gl
So do you sell the tailings in bags as sand?
For the downhill run, have the full bucket pull the empty bucket for you.
Check out a guy in England that does demo of chimney's, his loaded bucket raises the empty bucket.
The strength in wood framing is in compression. We stack one piece on another. The only time we hang a piece by the end is if it sits in a hangar made for that purpose. Around 5 minutes it is clear that the whole weight is hanging on a couple of screws. Put blocking under the rails, not just in the side. By the way. Nails are way stronger than screws. Screws break often just from vibration and the wood swelling and shrinking.
Can you refurb the hammers with hardfacing rod?
